Hammer Mill Market

Hammer Mill Market Overview

The global hammer mill market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 5% to 6% during the forecast period 2022-2032. Increasing adoption of hammer mills for diverse applications across the food & beverage, agriculture, and chemical industries is expected to facilitate the demand for hammer mills in the market.

Hammer mills are equipments containing a steel drum and a horizontal or vertical rotor shaft with a series of hammers (usually four or more) mounted on it. The rotor spin at a high speed (8000 to 15000 rotation per minute) inside the drum, hammering the feeding material inside. These mills are increasingly being deployed to reduce the size of feeding materials by grinding, shredding, crushing, and pulverizing them.

Demand for hammer mill is rapidly increasing, owing to the benefits associated with it such as ease of use, compact size, less operation cost, and high performance. These machines are increasingly gaining popularity across drivers manufacturing sectors such as refractory materials plants, ethanol plants, glass fabrication facilities, and dressing plants among others. This is projected to accelerate the sales of hammer mills in the market.

Increasing introduction of advanced hammer mills, enable of processing materials with low melting points, highly reactive, toxic, explosive, and other materials with specific characteristics is anticipated to bolster the demand in the market. Also, rising technological advancements and increasing availability of industry-specific, customizable, and application-specific mills are estimated to favor the growth in the hammer mill market.

Which are Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading Hammer Mill Market Growth?

As the trend of urbanization continues to create to gain traction, a swift rise in infrastructure development and construction activities is being witnessed, especially across countries such as the U.S., China, India Germany, Australia, and others. Also, growing focus on sustainable development and increasing government emphasis on upgrading the nation’s infrastructure is propelling the demand for equipments used in construction activities.

For instance, according to a report by the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Government of India has announced allocating around US$ 868 Mn for constructing more than 100 smart cities across India under the country’s Smart City Mission for 2021-2022.

As hammer mills are extensively used for breaking, grinding, crushing materials such as stones aggregates, and others across construction sites, increasing infrastructure development activities and rising number of such initiatives are estimated to propel the demand in the market.

In addition to this, sifting end user inclination towards adoption hammer mills from rolling mills and increasing application of hammer mills across rapidly expanding food & beverage industry for grinding beans, soya, groundnuts, and others is bolster the growth in the market.

 What are the Challenges Faced by the Hammer Mill Market?

Despite numerous advantages associated with hammer mills, their inability to fine grind abrasive and very hard materials, extravagant initial cost, high noise pollution, and inefficiency to process plastic-like and low-melting sticky materials is hampering the growth in the market.

In addition to this, need for frequent maintenance to counter high wear and tear due to processing of hard materials such as stones, metals, and others is shifting end user preference towards adopting roller mills, which is in turn, hindering the sales of hammers mill in the market.

Why is Asia Pacific Excluding Japan Emerging as an Opportunistic Hammer Mill Market?

As per FMI, Asia Pacific excluding Japan is expected to emerge as a highly remunerative market for hammer mill between 2022 and 2032.

The trend of automation is creating deeper inroads in the agriculture industry, resulting in increasing the adoption of process automation technologies, especially across emerging economies such as India, China, Australia, South Korea, and others. Also, with increasing demand for food & beverage products, governments in several countries are emphasizing on promoting agriculture mechanization to increase farm productivity.

For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian Government has announced allocating nearly US$ 144 Mn for promoting farm mechanization under the Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) to increase agricultural productivity. As hammer mills are used across the agricultural sector for removing groundnut, almonds, walnuts, and others from their hard shells, such initiatives are projected to favor the sales of hammer mills in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan market.
